Hypothetical case studies

Hypothetical
Case study 1

Tier-2 Bank — inflation-indexed loan products

Customer profile

Mid-size Lagos commercial bank, ~₦500B asset base, retail + SME lending desk.

The problem

Personal loan APRs need to track Nigerian inflation in near-real-time, but the NBS monthly bulletin is published ~30 days lagged. Neobanks are repricing weekly off informal signals; this bank's quarterly committee cycle leaves it priced wrong for 8–12 weeks at a stretch.

How they'd use PriceRadar
  • Daily polling of /api/petrol, /api/gas, and /api/fx (parallel + official)
  • Custom basket: 8 staple commodities — cement, rice, garri, fuel, gas, MTN data, generator diesel, basic foodstuff index
  • Weekly composite index pushed straight into their loan-pricing engine via webhook
  • Quarterly Enterprise review session to recalibrate the basket weights
  • Custom Slack channel for incident notification when basket components move >7% week-over-week
Suggested tier
Growth → Enterprise
$200/mo, upgrading to $1k+/mo at 6 months for hosted dashboard

Illustrative outcome

Illustrative: index-tied APRs let the bank price competitively against neobanks without re-convening the credit committee weekly. Modelled outcome: 18% increase in approved loan volume from no longer pricing themselves out of fast-moving segments.

Case study 2

Macro Research Boutique — quarterly NG outlook

Customer profile

8-person macro shop publishing quarterly Nigeria / Sub-Saharan Africa reports for DFI + buy-side subscribers.

The problem

NBS data lags 60+ days and CBN's parallel-market datasets aren't structured for time-series analysis. The team currently spends ~3 person-days every quarter just assembling clean price/FX panels before any actual modelling begins.

How they'd use PriceRadar
  • Bulk CSV export from /data covering all 11 verticals, rolling 90-day windows
  • Cited as "PriceRadar (2026)" alongside CBN + NBS in every chart that uses the data
  • Uses /state-of-naira as the annual peer-comparison anchor for FX commentary
  • Custom report-grade PDF exports with their masthead — Enterprise-tier deliverable
  • Direct access to methodology lead for source-attribution questions during peer review
Suggested tier
Enterprise
$1k+/mo with custom report-grade PDF exports

Illustrative outcome

Illustrative: quarterly data-assembly time drops from 3 days to ~4 hours. Modelled outcome: 14 third-party citations per quarter across Punch, Premium Times, and TechCabal as their reports become the most-quoted private NG macro source.

Hypothetical
Case study 3

Major NG Media Outlet — newsroom data desk

Customer profile

Top-5 Nigerian newspaper with a 4-person data desk supporting both print and digital newsroom.

The problem

Reporters need same-day petrol, FX, and gas numbers for breaking-news cycles, but freelance scraping is unreliable and the data desk burns hours per story chasing fresh figures. Editors can't quote anything that hasn't been triangulated against at least two sources.

How they'd use PriceRadar
  • Embedded white-label /embed/fx, /embed/petrol, /embed/gas widgets on the site
  • Direct API call from their CMS for inline data callouts in articles (auto-updating)
  • SMS alerts to data-desk editors when prices move >5% intra-day
  • Methodology page linked as the "how is this measured" footer on every embed
  • Quarterly editorial briefing on cross-vertical trends as part of the Growth tier
Suggested tier
Growth
$200/mo — standard widgets + alerts
See pricing tiers →
Illustrative outcome

Illustrative: data-sourcing cycle drops from ~90 min to ~5 min per price-related story. Modelled outcome: 12% lift in average time-on-page on price-related articles because embedded widgets keep readers on the page instead of bouncing to FX aggregators.
